Hello Bill, I'm almost embarassed at how long I've been away from your thread. Thanks for visiting me. You've been on my mind but work has been busy for me and I haven't had much time to chat.

SO,seems like things are progressing for you. 2 things I thought of while reading your thread. First, would it be possible to hold a family "camp out" in the newly painted LR to get W to cuddle up w/you and try to dismay some of her fears?

Second, is she on any medication that may be hindering her ability/feelings towards s**? Maybe her hormone levels are low and she needs to have them checked. I'm no doctor but I have read that this could be a factor in W's problem.

As for the surgery on your "U", I know someone that had it and it worked - - - for a while.......but then he was back on the couch a few months later coz he started snoring again. Don't know what route he took after that.

Keep up the good work and progress. Slow down a little bit more and continue to validate by letting her know that you will be there for her no matter how long she needs. Tootles...
